To evaluate a pilot implementation of an organizational-level intervention. The participatory approach (PA) was used to create a supportive work environment for employees with chronic conditions, with a key role for occupational physicians (OPs).
Twenty-eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with OPs and stakeholders within their organizations. Furthermore, observational data and research notes were gathered. Data analysis occurred through content analysis.
Recruitment of organizations was challenging, with a reach of 25%. Dose delivered, dose received, and fidelity differed across the three organizations. Organizations were positive about the PA as a method to improve support for employees with chronic conditions.
The PA could be of added value for creating a supportive work environment. However, research is needed on activating organizations to improve support for employees with chronic conditions.
评估组织层面干预措施的试点实施情况。采用参与式方法(PA)为患有慢性病的员工创造一个支持性的工作环境,其中职业医生(OPs)发挥了关键作用。
对 28 名 OPs 和其所在组织的利益相关者进行了半结构化访谈。此外,还收集了观察数据和研究笔记。通过内容分析进行数据分析。
组织的招募具有挑战性,仅覆盖了 25%的目标人群。三个组织的实施剂量、接受剂量和保真度存在差异。组织对 PA 作为改善慢性病员工支持的方法持积极态度。
PA 可能对创造支持性工作环境具有附加价值。然而,需要研究如何激活组织以改善对慢性病员工的支持。
